I can think of Lyne and Miller, that's about it, Miller is injured but I'll definitely give you Lyne Apart from those 2 I can't think of anybody else that's been anywhere near Hull, but I could be wrong. Today's squad featured 9 players born and played mostly within the WF postcode, I know its not about postcodes but even if you include injured and fringe players, still nobody's been near Hull I don't think ?

In addition to the two you've mentioned , I think he's probably talking about Danny Brough and Joe Arundel.
For what it's worth I think Wakey (as mentioned by someone else) have a great blend of big forwards and powerful/rapid backs, with creativity in the halves. That coupled with what seems a great team ethos and Chezzy's coaching appears to be a good formula.

Ahh, well, both of them are injured but there is no doubt they've made a positive contribution at Wakey, quite how much credit Hull can take for that, I dunno. We're gonna take credit for Ellis though...lol

The heavy defeats are really disappointing, but we’ve had equal highs in the Catalan and Good Friday games. Plus we’ve signed up our playmaker for three more years. I’m not unhappy where we are. Top five would be an achievement for me, with some proactive recruitment taking place, which will fill in the gaps which are clearly evident.
But it shouldnt have been a transitional season. Poor recruitment has made it the season it is. Radford has to take the responsibility for that. We had the platform from two Challenge Cup wins to kick on but poor decisions starting with the Watts fiasco have seen us on the end of several huge losses. Once you build a platform for success the sign of a good coach and management is to keep it going. Radford has failed and now we will have a huge turnover of players in preparation for next season which should include several of the fringe/reserve players who are just not good enough.

Does the above then mean next season becomes another 'transitional' as the new signings need a season to settle in ? That's what a lot of posters are saying on here as the reason for mediocre results etc this season Jam tomorrow syndrome
